gTip

Version: 1.271

by: Goldpaw [More]

What is this?

Yet another tooltip addon. It is dependent on gMedia which must be downloaded separately!

What does it do?

Reskin the game tooltips
Moves the tooltip healthbars inside the frame
Colors character names by class
Colors unit names by faction standing
Colors pet names by happiness
Colors unit level by quest difficulty (makes stuff 10 levels above you red, etc etc)
Allows you to choose between anchoring all tooltips to the curser, only unit tooltips, or none at all
Can hide the tooltips when engaged in combat

How can I configure it?

/gtip

It's not working!

Remember to install gMedia!

What is the name of the UI and Addons in your screenshots?

1.271
- Fixed the same nil error regarding "color" as I fixed in 1.24. For some reason.... it had been reverted...?...?

1.27
- Now uses the global SHOW_TOOLTIPS_IN_COMBAT to set tooltip visibility for other gMods as well
- Healthbars are now positioned beneath the tooltip

1.26

- Now also skins dropdown lists, dropdown menus, chat menus and the title picker frame
- Now uses gMedia2 and gLib2
- Now embeds gLib2
- Now uses gLibs localization handler

1.1
- gTip now has an Interface Options menu
- The option to re-anchor the tooltip to the default position has been added. Will be above the Loot-frame if gUI is loaded.
- The option to hide tooltips while being engaged in combat has been added

ck.nienor A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Language change Hello, I have the same problem as mgssidley, after login my undead rogue speaks gutterspeak. I disabled all addons but gtip (v1.4.9), glib (v2.6.29) and gmedia2 (v2.4.4). The language change only occures after login and on my undead toon. After /rl he speaks orcish again. In addition I really like the disable tooltip in combat feature and would like to see a little addition to it to make it perfect : Could you add an option so gtip shows tooltips in combat if I use a modifier like shift Thanks in advance ck.nienor Last edited by ck.nienor : 11-03-10 at 03:25 PM.

Also, is there any way to scale the tooltip up? It's very tiny for me and text is hard to read :/ And I wouldn't want to use different font, I really like my current one.
If needed, I can provide screenshots of both of these problems.

Screenshots not needed.

That tooltips doesn't scale was intended, but a decision I've regretted since. Expect it changed in a future version.

Healthbars are intended to be outside. I suddenly changed my mind and decided I liked that more. I will change the screenshots with the next upload to reflect this.

I'm currently in the process of rewriting all my addons, and scaling is a major issue. Everything I write will scale properly with the UIscale in the next updates.

This is my fav tip addon for sure tho its basic and doesn't have a billion extra features that nobody uses thought i'd say thanks again goldpaw your work is awesome.

Yeah, you're totally right. The hand is right above the numbers. I'll change that.

gUI will just be a compilation of all my addons, plus a configuration module for the chat windows and some other things.

Once all of my addons are available here, I'll post it in my author's portal.

Those are good suggestions.
